This Day in Golf--Dec. 11

Yesterday's entry focused on how Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer teamed to great success in several events, including the PGA National Team Championship. They won the 1966 event on Dec. 10 after rounds of 63-66-63-64—256. They tied for 15th in 1968, then won again in 1970 and 1971. Their very first pairing in the event was in 1965, which ended on today's date. They tied for seventh, seven shots behind winners Gay Brewer and Butch Baird, who were 29 under at Palm Beach Gardens, Fla.
